India's tech industry hails Joe Biden's stand on immigration, H-1B rules

Trump admin had placed several curbs and made unfavourable changes to the H-1B visa rules. Biden has either withdrawn or frozen some of these provisions

The Indian technology industry has welcomed the US President Joseph Biden for his stand on immigration and the H1B visa.  

Biden is expected to send a Bill to the Congress that proposes to eliminate the per country cap for employment-based green cards. All this is expected to help Indian IT professionals.

“US President Biden has pledged a new approach on trade and immigration, as well as a renewed and revitalised interest in science and technology. We appreciate his commitment to review and make necessary changes to harmful regulatory policies put in place by the outgoing administration,” Nasscom said on Thursday.
